From Newsgroup: alt.bbs
On 25 Jun 2019 at 07:37a, Steve Hayes pondered and said...
When Usenet newsgroups first started being gated to Fidonet, many
usenet users feared that letting the Fidonet rabble in would mean the
end of Usenet. Now Usenet is full of spammers, trolls and fanatics and only about one article in 20 is worth reading, and I long for the days
of Fidonet and the interesting conversations.
There are some quite good conversations still happening in Fido as well as othernets such as fsxNet... you may want to check those out?
